The present application claims priority to Taiwanese Patent Application No. 095215216, filed on Aug. 25, 2006, and is incorporated by reference herein, in its entirety.
The present invention generally relates to a mosquito net attachable to a hammock that can swing back and forth, and up and down. A mosquito net of the present invention is easy to attach to and detach from the hammock. The present invention solves the problem in the prior art where a mosquito net cannot swing with the hammock.
Some conventional mosquito nets cannot be used with a hammock because the setup of these mosquito nets is incompatible with the swinging motion of the hammock. Other conventional mosquito nets may be used with a hammock, but are permanently attached to and cannot be detached from the hammock. Conventional mosquito nets are further inconvenient for use with a hammock as they provide little interior space.
The present invention provides a mosquito net system designed to be used with a hammock. The mosquito net system has attachment means that can allow the mosquito net system to be easily attached to and detached from the hammock. The mosquito net system is in the shape of a triangular prism with the triangular sides aligned horizontally (hereinafter referred to as “horizontal triangular prism”). Elastic bands with hooks are fixed to the top vertices of the mosquito net. Several ropes are provided along the perimeter of a rectangular bottom sheet of the mosquito net. Using the elastic bands and ropes, the mosquito net can be easily attached to the hammock and swing reliably with the hammock without detaching from the hammock. In addition, a zipper is provided at a side of the mosquito net to enable a user to get in and out of the mosquito net easily.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects, features, and advantages of the invention will become more apparent and may be better understood by referring to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
The present invention provides a mosquito net system that can be shaped to form a horizontal triangular prism with a rectangular bottom side overlapping with the hammock. The length, width, and height of the prism can be chosen to suit a hammock sold in a market.
